Poorman's Podcast: Walkin' the Talk on the Streets of London with Mick Fleetwood & his Celebrity Playlist
(download)
I have another another one my "Poorman's Podcasts" here for your listening enjoyment. I make these on my iPhone using the voice recording app. Very simple to do. This time I recorded it while walking along the South Kensington streets in London.
I was on my way back from the gym and had just finished listening to this new feature that iTunes has called, the Celebrity Podcast. It is a new feature that I talk about in the attached podcast. Mick Fleetwood put one of these together and I loved it. It is storytelling. It is about music. It is about music through storytelling...and Mick Fleetwood spins a mighty fine yarn.
Listen to what I have to say about it and then see then decide if you want to download it for free in the iTunes store.
Also, here is the link to listen to it now: Mick Fleetwood Celebrity Podcast.
That link does not take you to the iTunes store. It opens up in your browser where you can watch the accompanying slide show of the podcast. It is cool because there are some visuals that go along with it. I didn't even realise you could do that until just now. Learn something new everyday...
A couple other highlights I forgot to mention my podcast:
- Sandy Nelson: I didn't know who he was. Listen to the Link Wray-light guitar in the background
- Marvin Gaye: If there were three people that I wish stayed on to make more music and more statements it would be John Lennon, Robert Johnson and Marvin Gaye. All of which were taken down by someone else's hand. Marvin was an extremely tragic character in life and in his death.
- James Brown: Listen to the opening of "It's a Man's World". Stopped me cold while at the gym and was close to bringing tears to my eyes. You can't cry at the gym...
- The Peter Greene song I mentioned is called "Man of the World". Much like the tunes on Lennon's "Working Class Hero" album, here is a song where the artists takes their guts out and spreads them all over the mixing board and the listener for all to chew on. I attached a link here for you to listen to it in your browser. The lyrics are full-on...
Enjoy...

As I've said before, you are a world class musicologist trapped in a business man's body. And I will gladly donate some hard-earned cabbage if you ever decide to have the operation.
Funny that you should wax nostalgia about the famous tripster Peter Green. For some reason -- there is always an obscure trigger -- I recently returned to my early Fleetwood Mac sets: 'Then Play On' and 'English Rose'. Easy to see why B.B., Eric and Jimmy all popped fleeting wood over him. Green was a walking history lesson back in 1969. But he also added that unique, and always underrated, British blues flavour. Check out the rollicking riff in 'Oh Well' on Then Play On!
Joe Jackson reintroduced me to that toon (a fabulous version, BTW) on 1991's brilliant 'Laughter and Lust' set, but for years I couldn't remember where I'd heard it before. Now I know.
Enjoy the 'Honeyboy' gig, mate. I hope it is indeed the same old blues crap!
What new sounds have you dropped into your music box lately?
Past week music additions: well apart from the slick new Was-produced McClinton set, the Eric/Steve MSG show in Jan09, the Endless Highway Band tribute set (love The Roches' Acadian Driftwood!), the murdering Phil Spector's - Back To Mono (1958-1969) box set, the Alligator Records 35X35 kick-ass showcase and Neil Finn & Friends live '7 Worlds Collide' show, I've been lovin' the new Genius Mixes feature in iTunes. I collect way too much music and have discovered much deep gold from within my own 150 gigs worth! Am groovin' to the good Dr. hammerin' out Tipitina live as I type. Have a guess who flicked me those bytes!!
Really lookin' forward to your record store essays, mate. May you find a Mojo-sized experience just around the corner . . .
